I went to Disney at the beginning of August 2020, two weeks after the WDW parks reopened since closing in March. Prior to going, I watched every instagram video posted and published about the parks to see what the crowds were going to be like and what to expect. I was shocked by the attendance when I got there. It felt like I had the parks to myself. Granted, this was two weeks after opening, and now that Florida is back to normal operations, Disney is increasing the capacity.
Crowds: little to none (see photos below, videos on IG @thetravelingteeevents)
Rides: walked onto every ride including Pandora TWICE besides Seven Dwarfs (waited 30 minutes), I also had my rides to myself like Dinosaur, Na'vi River Journey, and Space Mountain. Check out the slideshow below for pics:
Dinosaur, it's frightening alone
Food: super simple, I didn't even use the app, I walked right into my favorite spot to eat in Pandora (Satu'li Canteen), ordered, and had my food within 5 minutes
Caramel Popcorn $4 Germany Epcot
Magic: it felt odd to be at the parks without crowds especially Magic Kingdom. I'm looking forward to having the fireworks back as well as the parades
Cinderella's Castle
Was it worth going?
100% in my opinion. It ultimately depends on the person and your opinion/views of the pandemic.
I look forward to the days where we can roam Main Street USA without masks and give Mickey a hug....and yes, those days will be back again.
